Kaleenah is English in Origin.

Kaleenah is a modern feminine given name in English, most plausibly an ornamental respelling of Kalina combined with the familiar -lina/-lena ending. In the Slavic languages, Kalina names a flowering shrub - the viburnum or guelder rose - long associated with beauty, tenderness, and national identity (especially Ukrainian kalyna). The final -ah is a stylistic flourish common in contemporary Anglophone spellings rather than a separate Semitic root.

Use of Kaleenah and close forms rose quietly in the late 20th century, with most occurrences in North America; a notable bearer is U.S. athlete Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis. Parents choosing Kaleenah often cite the nature meaning or its smooth, lyrical sound. Variants and relatives include Kalina, Kaleena, Kalena, Kalinah, and the phonetic cousin Colleen (from Irish cailín, "girl"). Common nicknames: Kali, Lena, Lina, Kay.
